In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 436 This is not a war, this is simply a massacre.

Whoosh whoosh, the pulley long-range bow of the Song army on the opposite side suddenly shot towards this side, and hundreds of arrows flew towards them at the same time.

"Hiss" He stopped and his face changed drastically.

They also considered that the Song Army's divine arm bows shot relatively far, about a hundred steps behind Juma, and there was another fifty steps between Juma and the Song Army's ditch wall.

Unexpectedly, the Song army could shoot at such a long distance with bows and arrows.

Fortunately, the longer the range, the more reaction time.

The Mongolian army at the scene was in a panic. Some people quickly grabbed their shields, while others turned around and ran. When they stopped and saw that the wave of arrows was very fierce, they subconsciously jumped off the horse, bent down and lowered their heads, led the horse and walked away.

Puff puff, this wave of arrows was luckily not very accurate, but it wasn't too bad either. About a quarter of it fell in the area where they were.

The scene suddenly erupted in screams and people fell on their backs.

The war horse that was worshiping was hit by two arrows, but the others were fine hiding behind the horses.

The panicked Mongolian troops dispersed in a flurry, and separated in all directions without waiting for anyone to say anything.

Swish, swish, the second wave of arrow rain from the Song army came over again, but this time the effect was very poor because the Mongolian army had dispersed.

Baixin ran and jumped in black and embarrassment before returning to the front of the formation. More than 50,000 servants looked at them coming back in embarrassment. The servants were dumbfounded.

The Great Mongol Empire was famous in Persia, and the locals had deep-rooted fear in their hearts, but no one expected to see such a miserable side of the Mongolian army today.

After returning from worship, he became so angry that he changed his war horse and immediately ordered: "The troops in the middle route charge, and then fight on foot against the ants. After they enter, they will not leave any chickens or dogs behind, and kill all the Song people."

"Woooo" With the sound of the horn of the Mongolian army's attack, large groups of servants began to rush towards the Song army's position.

Bai Zhu was watching from the rear with less than 2,000 Mongolian elites. On his flanks, there were about 30,000 horsemen from the left and right armies.

The first wave of attacks captured more than 20,000 riders.

There are many servants and soldiers, including local Persians, Turks, and cannibals. In short, there are all kinds of people.

In the past few hundred years, Persia has been ruled by Arabs, Seljuk Turks, Khwarezmians, and Mongols.

It's basically a big fusion, all tribes have it, and many servant armies have different beliefs.

But Choermahan didn't care about these, and there were no mandatory requirements, so the servants could be kneaded into a ball.

The rumble of horse hooves shook the earth, and the largest battle near the Persian Gulf officially kicked off.

Almost all the servant armies believed that they could crush the Mongolian opponents at will as before.

The Mongolian army started to advance from a few miles away. The front was only moving forward slowly. After entering five hundred steps, it began to slowly increase its speed.

This distance can only slowly increase the speed, mainly to allow the war horse to adapt to the upcoming charge.

The Mongolian servants still fight in the same old way, but they are facing the most advanced and powerful Song army in the world today.

The Mongolian army had just entered within 500 steps, and the forwards were still slowly increasing their speed, while the rear formations did not even increase their speed.

Boom, a sudden earth-shattering cannonball.

Whoosh, a black cannonball came from the sky and instantly hit the surging cavalry brigade.

Phew, a war horse was directly knocked down by a cannonball at the scene, and the cavalry on the horse also fell to the ground.

It was the first time that the Mongolian army faced artillery firing from such a distance, and the scene was slightly agitated.

However, the Mongolian cavalry formation was so powerful that it was obvious that such a shot would not affect the overall situation.

It's just that many servants will look confused and don't know whether to speed up or slow down at this time.

Before most people could react.

Boom, boom, boom, the sound of artillery fire continued, and dozens of cannons fired from behind the Song Army's formation.

The Song army had a lot of artillery, because they were all artillery on warships. This time only sixty were unloaded from the warships for defensive use.

But the artillery on the warships are medium and heavy, very powerful, can hit far and hit hard.

As artillery fired one after another, the shells smashed into the horses one by one, and the Mongolian army fell down from time to time along the road.

The first wave of artillery probably caused hundreds of casualties to the Mongolian army.

This casualty did not seem to have much impact in the face of more than 20,000 servants, but the sound of the heavy artillery landing was quite terrifying, and the other more than 30,000 servants watching the battle from a distance were stunned.

The servants who were charging faster were also scared, and some began to speed up crazily in advance, because many people knew that the closer they charged, the lower the chance of being hit by artillery.

The Mongolian army also used artillery in battles, but they threw stone bullets, unlike the Song army which threw iron bullets, which were more brutal.

Both war horses and people have the tendency to follow the crowd.

As soon as the Mongolian forward speeded up, everyone speeded up, so the entire army began to speed up at five hundred steps.

The people waiting behind me looked in disbelief.

After these five hundred steps, the speed begins to increase. Will the war horse still have the strength to rush in front of the horse?

Of course, there are advantages to increasing speed across the board, as the front can indeed withstand less bombardment.

When the Song Army's second wave of artillery fired, the Mongolian forward had already advanced more than 200 steps.

The shells fell like raindrops. Fortunately, there were only sixty guns. I stopped and looked at the shells and counted them silently. I felt that it was not a lot, and it was still within the tolerance.

But the next moment.

Just as the cannonballs fell, thousands of arrows from the Song Army were fired densely.

Song Jun's arrows could shoot so far, about two hundred steps away, which really shocked Bai Zhu.

But there were too few arrows. More than 20,000 Mongolian troops charged and were hit by two rounds of artillery fire on the road. The direct and indirect casualties would not exceed 300 people.

Instead, the first wave of arrows fell and caused a large number of casualties to the Mongolian army.

Then Song Jun's arrows shot out continuously as if they were free of charge.

The Song army's pulley arrows consume less energy and shoot quickly. As long as the bow is not broken, they can shoot ten or even a dozen arrows in one minute.

The Song army rained arrows continuously, and the Mongolian army was in disaster after 200 steps. From time to time, small pieces of the Mongolian army fell down.

After they entered one hundred and fifty steps, the Mongolian army's horses were already a little weak because of the overall speed increase in advance, and the charging speed also began to slow down.

Bang bang bang, at this moment, the Song Army's 1,500 flintlock guns fired again.

This was a blow like a storm. There seemed to be an unknown wall of steel in front of the Mongolian army. The Mongolian troops on the charge were cut down in rows like wheat.

The accuracy of the flintlock muskets was originally poor, but there were so many Mongolian troops. More than 20,000 people gathered to charge. The Song army only had to hit the target at a suitable height. The projectiles could not hit those in front but could still fly to those behind.

The Song army's flintlock rifles were not afraid of more Mongolian troops, but less afraid of them.

Please understand the characteristics of the Song Army's flintlock rifles. They only sent three to four thousand Mongolian troops to charge in several groups in turns. The formations were scattered. The Song Army's arrow rain and flintlock rifles were not easy to fight. The damage is also small.

Now the Mongolian army has never experienced flintlock rifles, and they even mounted more than 20,000 horses at once, so they charged and fell all the way.

In addition, the rain of arrows from the Song army did not stop, and artillery fire continued. Although there were only about 3,000 Song troops on the opposite side, by the time they rushed in front of Juma, the Mongolian army had already suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

"Dismount, dismount, dismount." The Mongolian army shouted wildly.

Some people didn't even have time to rein in their horses and bumped directly into their horses.

The three rows of horses on the opposite side have a great impact on the cavalry, but are useless against the infantry. The Mongolian soldiers jumped off their horses one after another against the hail of flintlock guns and arrows, and then used their knives to cut open the bundled horses.

The three rows of rebel horses of the Song Army were tied together with hemp ropes and had to be chopped with swords.

Originally, as long as the mobile resistance horses were cut open, a gap could be formed. As long as the gap was large enough, more than 10,000 Mongolian troops could rush in.

But the Song army's flintlock guns were just a few dozen steps away, fiercely hitting the front row of the Mongolian army, and the arrows from behind the Song army also poured down on the front row.

A Mongolian soldier just raised his sword, and bang, he was shot in the chest and lay on his horse.

The front row of the Mongolian army was knocked down one after another, and a large number of corpses were piled on the Juma. The Mongolian army had to pull away the corpses of its own people before they could find a way to move the Juma.

Some Mongolian troops also tried to shoot arrows in the direction of the Song army, but the Song army's fusiliers had a wall in front of them. People were hiding behind the wall, making it extremely difficult to hit.

There were constant gunshots and screams, and dense rain of arrows crisscrossed the scene.

Although the Mongolian army has more people and horses, it also has many targets. The Song army on the opposite side is all behind the wall and has a long range. The Mongolian army is almost in full attack.

As waves of Mongolian troops fell, a Mongolian army finally moved the bodies to the left of the center, then moved their horses to create a gap.

"Kill." The Mongolian army seemed to be going crazy at this time. Until now, they have been beaten, and a large number of Mongolian soldiers rushed forward from the gap.

Behind the three lines of resisting horses is fifty steps of flat ground, but the flat ground is full of pits, which are also for cavalry. If the cavalry rushes in, it will be difficult to speed up and they will easily fall down.

The Mongolian army's forwards were all infantry soldiers who had just dismounted to move their horses.

Dozens of Mongolian soldiers took the lead in rushing in from the gap, and they just rushed in five or six steps.

Sudden.

"Crash!" The front suddenly sank to the ground.

"Ah" thump thump, the Mongolian troops dropped one after another like dumplings.

"Trap, trap-" the Mongolian army in front shouted in shock and anger, turning around to stop the people behind.

But the Mongolian troops behind them continued to rush forward, and some even rushed in on horseback.

The Mongolian army in front was completely unable to withstand it, and people kept being squeezed into the pit.

At the same time, the resisting horses were removed everywhere on the entire front, and Mongolian troops rushed in everywhere.

Then just like here, thump thump, the Mongolian troops fell into the pit one after another.

"Damn the Song Dynasty people." Those who watched from a distance yelled.

Who fights and digs holes in the wild? Only the people of Song Dynasty have such no martial ethics. Can you people of Song Dynasty fight well?

This area is close to the seaside, and the soil is relatively soft, generally in a plastic shape. If it is close to the beach, it will contain a small amount of broken shells. If it is far away from the beach, it will be mixed with silt or silt sand agglomerates, or a thin layer of silt.

To put it simply, the soil here is relatively loose, loose, and soft, making it easy to dig holes.

The Song army had been here for almost a month, and the soldiers and horses had just arrived. Therefore, despite the simplicity of the fortifications, there were actually traps and ambushes everywhere.

The Mongolian army was frightened half to death by the first trap. Many people did not dare to rush forward. Some people fired at the Song army from more than fifty steps away.

But the Song army's flintlocks, bows and arrows kept firing, and their artillery fire continued.

After only fighting for a while, the Mongolian army couldn't stand it anymore. Corpses were everywhere on the scene, and it became difficult to move forward.

I don't know who turned around and ran away first, and then all the Mongolian troops turned around.

Soon, the scene turned into a rout. The Mongolian troops did not receive the order to retreat, so they turned around and ran away.

Bai Zhu's first round of attack ended in a disastrous defeat.

"Damn it, who ran away first?" Bai Zhu was furious and immediately ordered that all the soldiers and horses who ran away first be captured.

Then in front of the entire army, a person was beheaded in front of the formation, and at the same time, he ordered that all their family members be distributed as slaves.

Bai Zhi cut down nearly a hundred people in front of the formation, and the servants' expressions changed.

Then he worshiped and reorganized his troops and horses, preparing to attack again.

Just now, the Song Army's three lines of resistance have been broken, and there are gaps everywhere. Now they can rush in directly with the help of many people.

However, the Mongolian army counted the troops who had just returned, and they were shocked.

Twenty thousand Mongolian troops had just rushed forward, but less than fifteen thousand came back. More than a quarter of the Mongolian troops were left in front of the Song army's formation.

This is not a war, this is simply a massacre.

The unknown firearms of the Song Army sent billows of white smoke and were astonishingly lethal. Every time they were fired, the Mongolian troops fell in pieces.

But I want to defeat the Song army in front of me.

He had already seen that the Song army had few soldiers. There were only more than a thousand firearms soldiers and nearly two thousand archers.

As long as the Mongolian army rushed forward to fight hand to hand, the Song army would be like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered without any resistance.

At this time, there were more than 40,000 people behind him. He planned to charge forward continuously and use the human sea tactic to completely attack the Song army in front of him.

"Achili, you lead the first wave of 10,000 people and are not allowed to retreat without waiting for the order to retreat later."

"Even if there are all holes in the front, your men and horses will have to jump into the hole and fill it up so that the brothers behind can get in."

"If one person retreats, the entire team will be killed; if one team retreats, the entire battalion will be killed -"

He shouted loudly and gave orders one after another.

Both the Mongols and the subordinates of various noble lords at the scene were shocked when they heard this.

You have to work hard, even if there are holes in front of you, you have to have people fill them.

At the same time, in order to appease the noble lords, he said, as long as the Song army in front of you is defeated, the Song army's ships, wealth, and their weapons can be distributed according to merit.

The eyes of the noble lords were bright when they heard that the Song Army's firearms were very powerful, the Song Army's ships were also very big, and the artillery was more powerful. The noble did not want to own it.

After all the soldiers are dead, they can be recruited again, but there are not many opportunities to defeat the Song army, and there are not many opportunities to obtain the Song army's ships and firearms.

After a few orders, the morale that had just been hit came back up again, and the servants were gearing up to fight.

While the Mongolian army was arranging the second wave of attacks, the Song army on the opposite side was not idle either.

Song Jun first walked out from behind the wall with a spear, then got in front of Juma and started stabbing people.

From time to time, the Mongolian army on the opposite side could hear screams and calls for help coming from a distance, and many people yelled in the direction of the Song army.

Then they saw the Song army dragging their corpses and placing them.

A lot of the first pit had just been filled in. The Song Army filled the filled areas higher and dragged many corpses over to form a new corpse wall.

Some damaged horses were also rearranged.

These effects are not very big, but they can delay the Mongolian army's attack. For the Song army, every delay of a few seconds is equivalent to allowing the Song army to fire one more round of flintlock guns.

At the same time, the first three rows of flintlock guns of the Song Army were changing their guns one after another.
